ALLEN & OVERY PRESENTS THE LAW SCHOOL BASICS SERIES: ASSIGNMENT TECHNIQUE
Unsure how assignments are different in Law School? Come along to our annual Law School Basics series as supported by Allen & Overy!
The series will run as a Q&A panel on Zoom and the first half will be covering the following questions:
1. How much time should I leave to start an assignment?
2. What is the difference between a problem question and an essay assignment?
3. How much reading should I be doing for each?
4. How should I structure a problem question and how should I structure an essay?
5. I’m really struggling to begin an assignment, do you have any tips on getting the ball rolling?
6. Do I need to cite everything I write? What if it’s an original thought?
7. Should I do all my referencing at the end or should I do it as I write?
8. Do you have any general tips on assignments?
The second half of the seminar will be open to the audience to ask any questions they wish! The panel will feature the following speakers:
